rhode island red hen

    Would this be classified as just a "Barnyard mix" or is there a name for Dark Brahma/Rhode Island Red

    So I have three of these babies. They're absolutely beautiful, the pictures definitely don't do any justice to the red hues in their feathers. Rooster is Dark Brahma and the hen is a Rhode Island Red. Is there a name for them or should I just keep calling them my "Pinks" after the pink blush...

    When to butcher?

    So I found out that the feed store isn't going to sell the Red Rangers this year unless it's special order, something I can't afford. I decided to go with the Rhode Island Red instead. I know there are better breeds for meat but this is the only breed I feel comfortable butchering. The feed...

How long do they need to get acquainted like this? We have had the buffs for almost a week. My rirs are pretty docile. They are a little...

Right now we have a 3 level roosting ladder. The top rung being 3ft up. The nest boxes are 32 inches up and above the pop door. After sering...

    My hen is acting a bit off...

    Hey! My hen Myrdle is acting a bit off. She seems lethargic and quiet. She is also panting a bit and has a pale waddle and comb, but that is probably just the heat. I isolated her with some food and water just to be safe, and she hasn't pooped a lot that I've seen since then. Don't know how much...

    Male Duck Trying To Mate With Chicken Hens !!!

    Hey ! So around March of last year I got a Pekin duckling and two Rhode Island Red chicks. At the time, being a new poultry owner, I didnt think too much about the sex of the duck. I raised them all together and they lived quite peacefully together. But these last few weeks Eli (the male pekin)...

    Strange New Layer

    My newest laying hen tried to hide under the ramp that goes into the coop. Safe to say she couldn't fit under the ramp more than to stick her head under it. I thought it was weird.... I went into the coop looking for eggs, and from inside the coop lifted the ramp to make sure she was alive. She...
